Dan Wins Again!

Tonight we had  a good turn out with 31 players showing up to play for the $2500 prize pool.

Final five was Dan H, Alex, Corey, Dan G and Todd who all went home with warm feet after winning some bonus socks.

Taking fifth prize was Todd. He had pocket 7's up against Alex with AQ. Alex hit his King on the flop and it held.

Corey was next to shove with 58 off suit. Dan G called with AQ, the board was KJ653 knocking Corey out.

Down to the final three, Dan H raised to 25000 with AT, Alex went all with 114000 holding K8, Dan G called 41000 with KQ which Dan H called. The board was J4Q75 sending Alex packing.

Heads up Dan v Dan, Dan G shoves with Q6 called by Dan H with A5. No one hit and a pair of nines with an ace  kicker was enough for Dan H to take out another tournament.

Flushing The Competition

The Tournament filled out with two tables and 20 entrants this week. The prizepool sat just under $2,000.

Top 4 this week went to; Pete, Chris S, Martin and Tai.

Martin called a push from Pete with very close stacks. Hole cards: Pete 52, Martin A7. The board came out 3 K T 6 K. It was revealed how close the stacks were after a count ($100 change for Pete).

All in for a partial Ante', Pete got isolation from Tai holding KQ(sp) against K3. Tai flopped a flush, Pete tried his best to catch up (to no avail), hitting two pair on the turn. (3 J A(sp)) K 2.

Chris pushed UTG for 111k chips, Tai pushed for 50k on the SB, Martin folds 77's on the BB. Hole cards: Tai 99, Chris K8(cl). The flop came out; 6(cl) 7 A (Martin did not regret his fold too long), Turned 2(cl), River J(cl). Chris knocks out 3rd place with the 2nd nuts.

Chris and Martin exchanged a few blinds sizing each other up. Final hand: Chris called the BB for 12k, Martin checked. 2 (6 5(sp)) came out on the board, Martin pushed, Chris called. Martin held 10 5(middle pair), Chris had 98 in spades (flush draw). The turn delivered a Queen... And do did the River... A Queen of spades!  Another flush, another knockout. Well played!

Winter Wightout

We had a modest turnout this week (snow). Top 3 were paid a stake of $1275.

Peter went head to head pre with Greg, Peter A7, Greg J9. The board ran out without hitting any hole cards, sending Greg home as the bubble this week. 4 3 K T 8.

Peter had been building up his stack for a couple of hands. Peter seeked blood from Ray, who had stolen a BB off Peter earlier (an important BB).  Peter pushed pre-flop with K4, Ray called with the hand which cannot lose, 22. Flop came out 7 7 2! The King on the turn gave a sweat for Ray, promptly ended by an Ace on the river.

Ray and Todd were the top two this week. Todd had made an epic climb from 4BB's around an hour earlier, he now stood the big stack. The first heads-up hand was the final hand. Ray pushed on the Button with Q9, he got called by Todd with 77. The board flopped a pair of 6's, T 6 6. The turn paired the board once more when another Ten came out. The river was an anticlimactic 3.

Thanks to everybody who made it this week!

Dan Wins!

Tonight we had 21 players playing including a few new faces.
Andrew, Dan, Rayel and Todd outlasted the rest and took home some of the $1500 prize pool.

Fourth place went to Andrew, Dan got it in real bad with 8Q against Andrews pocket tens. Dan hit his queen on the flop which held.

Next we had a flop of 72T all spades, turn was a 4 of clubs then river 5 of spades. Rayel shoves and Dan calls with the ace of spades in his hand and knocks Rayel out.

Final two and Dan has Todd stacked, Dan goes all in with pocket tens and Todd calls with K4, this time tens are good and Dan takes the win.

Congratulations to the winners. Hope to see you next week!
